AIM: To evaluate the efficacy and complications of intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide ( TA ) for the treatment of macular edema caused by pre-retinal membrane of the macular.
METHODS: Totally 23 patients ( 24 eyes ) with macular edema caused by pre-retinal membrane of the macular were treated withintravitreal injection of 4mg TA. Best-corrected visual acuity ( BCVA ) , intraocular pressure ( IOP ) , slit - lamp examination, fundus fluorescein angiography ( FFA ) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were performed before and after treatment. The SPSS 12. 0 software was used for statistical analysis.
RESULTS: After 10, 30, 90d of treatment of TA, as compared with before treatment, visual acuity improved significantly ( P<0. 05 ), and central macular thickness (CMT) was significantly thinner (P<0. 01). The average central macular thickness decreased from 522 ± 126μm before treatment to 264±115μm, 245±128μm, 286±131μm at 10, 30, 90d after treatment. Macular edema reduced. IOP increased in 7 eyes ( 29%) , one cataract case, no other complications associated with vitreous injection.
CONCLUSION: Intravitreal injection of TA in the treatment of macular edema caused by pre - retinal membrane of the macular is simple, safe and easy to operate. It can quickly reduce macular edema, and improve the visual acuity in the short term. Part of patients may recur after injection in the first half of the year.

Objective To investigate the current status of multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) infection in the general surgery department of a tertiary first-class hospital, and understand the efficacy of comprehensive intervention measures.Methods Targeted monitoring on MDROs was implemented among patients who were hospitalized in a general surgery department for>48 hours between March 2015 and October 2016, comprehensive intervention measures were taken since January 2016.MDRO infection before and after intervention was compared.Results Between March 2015 and October 2016, a total of 6 406 hospitalized patients were monitored, 155(2.42%) developed MDRO infection.The most common infection sites were abdominal cavity(hydrops, bile) (n=76, 49.03%) and surgical site (n=43, 27.74%).MDRO infection rate dropped from 2.79% (99/3 549) before intervention (March-December, 2015) to 1.96% (56/2 857) after intervention (January-October, 2016) (x2=4.612, P=0.032).There was no difference in MDROs between before and after intervention, the major were both Escherichia coli.Conclusion Comprehensive intervention measures can reduce the incidence of MDRO infection in the general surgery department of this hospital.

Spinal cord injury (SCI),which lead to sensory and motor function impairment,refers to traumatic injury to the spinal cord.The main pathophysiological changing process can be divided into two phases:the preliminary injury phase and the secondary injury phase.Organ dysfunction,tissue necrosis,sensory and motor function of irreversible lesions and even death can be led by SCI and the secondary injury phase.In order to prevent the secondary injury and repair the injured central nerve system,medication,surgery,biomaterials transplantation and autologous peripheral nerve transplantation have been widely studied.However,these strategies can only reach a certain level of symptoms relieve and neural restoration,which cannot reach clinical satisfaction.Therefore,SCI has been treated as a global difficult and attractive topic.Since stem cells have the potential ability to promote neurons regeneration and/or even differentiate into neural like cells,they may also have anti-inflammatory,anti-apoptotic,anti-oxidative stress,and promote secretion of trophic factors and vascularization,they brought new hope for SCI patients.Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have attracted many researchers' attention for their multi characteristics including widely distribution,strong differentiation potential,easily isolating and storing and ethics avoiding.It has been proved that MSCs are effective for repairing SCI in vivo and vitro.In the latest 3 years,with the consummation of several clinical trials,a good prospect have been showed in the translation of MSCs transplantation into clinic.MSCs have been proved to have a significant prospect for clinical translation.At the same time,more specific issues were also raised.Thus,based on the latest 3 years clinical research and the author team's latest experimental results,we reviewed the MSCs on treating SCI from basic science to clinical trial and discussed its future development.

BACKGROUND:Some studies have shown that hyperlipidemia can lead to osteoporosis in rats, and exercise can increase the bone mineral density of rats. But the effect of short-time exercise on the bone mineral density of hyperlipdemia induced osteoporosis male rats is unclear yet.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of short-time middle-load treadmil exercise on the bone mineral density of hyperlipidemia male rats.
METHODS:Twenty-six male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups:control group (n=8), hyperlipidemia group (n=9) and exercise intervention group (n=9). The rats in the control group were fed with normal diet, and the rats in the other two groups were fed with high-fat diet and lasted for 4 weeks to establish the hyperlipidemia models. The rats in the exercise intervention group received treadmil exercise 5 days per week for 4 weeks according to the fol owing schedule:15 m/min for 15 minutes in the 1st week, 15 m/min for 20 minutes in the 2nd week, and then 20 m/min for 20 minutes in the last 2 weeks. Slope grade of the treadmil was adjusted at 0°. At the end of experiment, the rats were sacrificed, and the bone mineral density of the right femur, the morphological change of tibia, the level of plasma alkaline phosphates and calcium content were examined.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, the distal femur bone mineral density in hyperlipidemia group was significantly decreased (P<0.05);histological analysis of the proximal tibia showed thinning and loss of bony trabeculae arrangement, the gap was widened, and a large amount of fat cel s infiltration or integration into vacuoles in the marrow was observed, the plasma alkaline phosphates was significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with the hyperlipidemia group, distal femur bone mineral density in the exercise intervention group was increased (P<0.05). After adjust body weight, the whole femur bone mineral density was significantly greater in exercise intervention group compared to hyperlipidemia group (P<0.05). The histological analysis of the proximal tibia showed that the spaces of bone trabeculae decreased and the structure of bone trabeculae compacted, the alkaline phosphates activities were increased (P<0.01). There were no significant differences in serum calcium and phosphates levels between groups. The results show that short-time middle-load treadmil exercise can increase the bone mineral density of hyperlipidemia male rats.

Objective To investigate the role of local aldosterone system in oncofetal fibronectin ( oncofetal FN) mRNA expression and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in human mesangial cells (HMCs) exposed to short-term intermittent high glucose and the effect of Fenofibrate.Methods The HMCs were divided into 8 groups:normal glucose(NG) ;osmotic fluctuation(OF) ;mean glucose load (MGL) ;stable high glucose (SHG),short-term intermittent high glucose (IHG) ; intermittent high glucose plus eplerenone (IHGE) ; intermittent high glucose plus fenofibrate(IHGF) ; and normal glucose plus fenofibrate (NGF) groups.The mRNA expression levels of Aldosterone synthase ( CYP11 B2 ),11 β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 ( 11βHSD2 ) and oncofetal FN were determined by RT-PCR.The expression of CYP11B2 protein was determined by western-blot.Aldosterone level in cell culture supernatant was detected by radioimmunoassay.The expression and translocation of mineralocorticoid receptor (MR)protein were assayed with confocal laser scanning microscopy. ROS levels were determined by Fluorescence microscopy and fluorescence microplate reader.Results ( 1 ) MGL,SHG,and IHG groups showed a 2.41,3.63,and 4.45 times increase in CYP11B2 mRNA expression,and a 1.83,2.15,and 2.78 times increase in CYP11B2 protein expression,respectively,compared with NG group (P ＜ 0.05 ).The aldosterone levels of HMCs culture supernatant in MGL,SHG,and IHG groups were also increased,being 1.49,2.04,and 2.54 times of that in NG group ( P＜0.05 ),and the degree of elevation in IHG group was more marked than that in SHG group( P＜0.05 ).MR was activated and translocated from cytosol to nucleus in MGL,SHG,and IHG groups.Quantitative analysis showed the ratioes of cytosol/nucleus fluorescence intensity in MGL,SHG,and IHG groups were 15％,38％,and 53％ decreased as compared with that in NG group,and the decrease was more marked in IHG group ( P＜0.05 ).(2) Oncofetal FN mRNA expression and ROS levels in MGL,SHG,and IHG groups were increased,being 1.54,2.31,3.65 and 1.26,1.91,2.48 times of those in NG group,respectively ( P＜0.05 ),and this increase was more marked in group IHG ( P＜O.05 ).Compared with IHG group,oncofetal FN mRNA expression and ROS levels in group IHGE were significantly decreased by 54％ and 53％,and in group IHGF by 45％ and 39％. ( 3 ) CYP11B2 mRNA,protein,and aldosterone levels in IHGF group were decreased by 74％,59％,and 50％,and the activation of MR in group IHGF was inhibited when the ratio of cytosol/nuclear fluorescence intensity was increased 1.88 fold as compared with that in group IHG ( P＜0.05 ).Conclusions Increased expressions of oncofetal FN and ROS by HMCs induced by short-term intermittent high glucose were nore marked than those induced by stable high glucose.The mechanism was associated with activation of local aldosterone system.Fenofibrate may inhibit the activation of local aldosterone system and alleviate the injury to HMCs induced by intermittent high glucose.
